At A Glance: With sleek, modern lines and the kind of material and craftsmanship quality we're used to seeing from BDI, the Cascadia 19" deep desk is one of their newest forays into an often-neglected area of the home office: those who don't have a dedicated office space but would love to have a small laptop table that they could use when needed. With its console table looks and shallow depth, the Cascadia 6202 Desk delivers.
What's To Like: A great solution anywhere that space is limited, Cascadia is terrific for a home office.

Parade, open house put Elizabethton, Carter County in Christmas spirit
By Ashley Rader
It was a night – and day – filled with cheer
The annual Christmas parade Saturday night filled downtown Elizabethton with thousands of spectators celebrating the holiday, and merchants were also warmed by a big turnout for the day's Open House.
The parade, with a "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree" theme, featured 84 entries and lasted close to an hour and 20 minutes. Participants included school marching bands, churches, day cares, non-profit agencies, school and youth league sports teams and local businesses.
"The parade went wonderfully," Chamber of Commerce Director Tonya Stevens said. "We have received numerous comments about how nice the parade was. It was a very enjoyable parade, and we are excited about how it turned out."

As far as I'm concerned, replacing my pool cue tip is one of the more stressful aspects of owning a pool cue. When my cue needs a new tip, I always think about doing it myself, but in the end I have someone do it for me. Call me a chicken, but I just can't bring myself to taking a blade to my pool cue. Of course it doesn't help that I'm not mechanically inclined enough to hang a painting let alone do work on my pool cue, but that's just me.
My issues aside, there are still lots of people who can replace their pool cue tips without any problems. Since I'm not one of those people though, I decided to ask the guys over at Tiger how one would go about replacing a tip. Here's what they sent me:
"We strongly recommend you have a professional cuesmith install your laminated cue tip. If you choose to do so yourself, roughen the back (glue side, it is stamped with an embossed initial or black if a Sniper) side of the cue tip with sandpaper, apply a drop of Insta-Cure+® (or other CA type glue) to the sanded side and rub the tip (glue side) on the sanded and cleaned ferrule to spread the glue, center the tip on the ferrule and let it set for 15 seconds. Moisten the sides of the tip and trim to fit with a single edge blade (be careful!!!). Then shape the tip to your preference and your tip is ready to be played with. Enjoy!"
I swear someday I'm going to try this, although I'll have to keep the paramedics close by since I'll probably end up hacking off body parts in the process.

my dream role is lucy harris in jekyll and hyde. when i got the chance to audition for her, i spent hours and hours trying to find the right song and monolouge. what i came up with was "When I Look At You" by Frank Wildhorn from the show The Scarlet Pimprenel, he wrote j&h as well. now if you're a soprano, dont be discouraged to use a mezzo song. i am not fully into my voice yet but even though i am pretty confident i am a lyric soprano, i was very suceessful using this song. my monolouge was from The Night Watcher. you cant access the website i got it from anymore so i'll post it at the bottom of this. the background information will tell you everything you need to know. this character can absoultley be played like lucy. now what happened with me is i got a call back for lucy and my competition was pretty steep. i had seen 2 other girls on that list star in les mis and they were obviously favorites in this company. well i didn't get the part, but i got her best friend. (if you are unfamiliar with the show, there are only 4 female speaking parts: lucy, nellie, emma, and lady beaconsfield.) and i also beat out one of those girls i thought would smother me with their enormous talent. so if you find yourself with an oppertunity to audition for this show i suggest when i look at you and the night watcher!
Background Info: Baily, a mentally challenged adult now living with her sister and her sister's husband was recently raped by her sister's husband. In this monologue, she explains the reason she feels she was raped.
I never knew I was different. Growing up you always made me feel like a normal kid. You even let me hang out with you and your friends even though none of them liked me much (beat). You remember that day when Jessie's brother called me that naughty word and mama said it was just because he grew up in a family where he didn't learn right from wrong? Well, now I know why he called me that name. It was because I am different. I didn't know before...now i do.(beat) If I wasn't different I wouldn't still live with you, if i wasn't different, he wouldn't have called me names. If I wasn't different, (her anger suddenly turns to tears) I would have done something, I wouldn't have "gotten laid" if I wasn't different, we wouldn't be in this mess and we would still be sisters like we used to be.

We use hook and loop fasteners for a multitude of purposes in our 5th wheel trailer and other places, and have found that 3M brand is the best. I hate to have to pay over $3 per foot, but any other brand is inferior, so we pay what it costs. Primarily, when using sticky back tape in places that will get considerably warmer than room temperature, especially if it needs to support any significant weight, all other brands fail, but 3M tape will hold. The original brand is fine for sew on tape, and I use that when doing sewing projects, but for sticky back, 3M is my only brand. BTW, they also make the best double stick tape, especially if you use the heavy duty or "pro" version.

When President Obama's campaign strategists tried to squeeze every last drop of efficiency out of their $300 million television advertising budget, they chose to do something unorthodox: They stopped worrying about which shows featured their commercials.
Most campaigns buy airtime based on television ratings for different demographic groups, selecting the shows they think likely voters will watch. In their attempts to find new efficiency, Obama aides threw that conventional wisdom out the window — instead choosing airtime only by the time of day and the channel.

For Immediate Release: Thursday, April 21
Celebrate Earth Day by Conserving Energy
(ST. PAUL, MN) In observance of the 41st Earth Day, the Minnesota Department of Commerce, Division of Energy Resources is reminding consumers how easy it is to conserve energy and save money throughout the year.
"There are many simple and inexpensive actions consumers can take at home to help to protect and conserve natural resources," said Mike Rothman, Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Commerce, which houses the Division of Energy Resources. "On Earth Day, and every day, we all can take small, but significant steps to cut our energy use. Doing so will help to conserve energy and save the environment and our state's energy resources."
Those changes can be as easy as low cost or no cost energy-efficiency improvements that reduce household consumption of gas and electricity. More substantial improvements such as replacement of mechanical systems require a fairly large financial investment, but can often be made more affordable with rebates from utilities and federal tax credits.
Consumers hoping to make a difference this Earth Day and conserve energy for the future can take these 10 easy steps:
1. Energy audit — Get an audit that includes a blower door test and infrared scan that will provide you with a detailed evaluation of energy use, insulation levels, air leakage and performance of mechanical systems. Schedule an audit through your gas utility or the Minnesota Building Performance Association.
2. Seal air leaks — An enormous amount of energy is wasted when inside air (either heated or cooled) can escape to the outside through leaks in attics, walls, windows and doors.
3. Check mechanical systems — Water heaters, air conditioners, furnaces, gas fireplaces and ventilation systems should be regularly inspected and tuned-up to keep them operating efficiently and safely.
4. Heat efficiently — Replace old, inefficient systems with new high-efficiency options; don't use fans to move air; seal ductwork and direct airflow through registers and baffles.
5. Install a programmable thermostat — Adjusting a thermostat 1 degree (down in the winter and up in the summer) while asleep and away at work (16 hours a day), you can save 2 percent on a home fuel bill.
6. Control hot water use — A standard showerhead can use up to 5.5 gallons of water a minute. Low-flow showerheads deliver a high pressure spray at less than two gallons per minute.
7. Replace light bulbs — A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) bulb can save $30 over the life of the bulb in energy costs. CFL bulbs are now made to fit nearly every fixture and for nearly every use.
8. Reduce use of outlet switches — Only plug devices into an outlet switch on an as-needed basis. Standby power or "phantom load" is the electricity that flows through appliances and devices when they are turned "off"- up to 40 percent of "on" for some electronic items. Instead plug items into a power strip.
9. Install timers/motion detectors — Why keep things on when they are not in use? Timers and motion detector switches can operate devices that are used infrequently or have switches that are hard to get to.
10. Buy ENERGY STAR products — ENERGY STAR products are the same or better than standard products, only they use less energy. To earn the ENERGY STAR rating, products must meet strict energy efficiency and reliability criteria set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the U.S. Department of Energy.
Consumers and businesses can find useful information on conservation and other energy topics at www.energy.mn.gov . The Division of Energy Resources has also created an Earth Day page at http://tiny.cc/EnergyEarthDay where consumers can find links to calendars of Earth Day events planned throughout the state, view answers to various energy-related questions provided by our in-house energy expert, and research some energy myths too.
A part of the Minnesota Department of Commerce, the Division of Energy Resources ensures that Minnesota homes and businesses have access to energy services that are reliable, reasonably-priced, efficient, and environmentally sound.

text: Climate Change Increases Stress, Need For Grazed Land Restoration Western ranges under strain from nature's changing climate. Published on: Nov 23, 2012 Eight researchers in a new report suggest that climate change causes stress to western rangelands, and land managers are advised to consider a significant reduction or elimination of grazing on public land. A growing degradation of grazing lands could be mitigated on Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service acres if livestock, wild horses and burros were kept out, and populations of deer and elk reduced, the report suggests. This would help arrest the decline and speed up recovery of affected ecosystems, they conclude, and provide a basis for comparative study of grazing impacts under nature's changing climate. The direct economic and social impacts might also be offset by a higher return on other ecosystem service and land uses, they add, although the report focused more on ecology than the pivotal economics that should also be considered.A new report on climate change impacts on range is issued with a note that economic considerations of removing animals from federal lands were not reviewed. The report appears in the current edition of "Environmental Management," a professional journal. "People have discussed the impacts of climate change for some time with such topics as forest health and increased fire," says Robert Beschta, lead author and former Oregon State University College of Forestry professor. "However, the climate effects on rangelands and other grazing lands have received much less interest. Combined with the impacts of grazing livestock and other animals, this raises serious concerns about soil erosion, loss of vegetation, changes in hydrology and disrupted plant and animal communities. Entire rangeland ecosystems in the American West are getting lost in the shuffle." Livestock use affects a far greater proportion of BLM and Forest Service lands than do roads, timber harvest and wildfires combined, the researchers claim. But efforts to mitigate the effects of livestock have been minor, they believe, even as climatic impacts intensify. Although the primary emphasis of this is ecological, the researchers admit that changes they suggest would result in negative economic impacts.

Elena eventually dumped him after discovering his plans to take over Southfork and found her way back to Christopher. With a stake in Ewing Energies and her dream of success in the oil industry, Elena is ready to strike it big.
Youngest Ewing brother who's the current proprietor of Southfork and the unofficial Ewing caretaker.

He'll do whatever it takes to protect his family, like supporting Christopher's alternative energy plan, Ewing Energies, helping his son prove his marriage was a fraud by tracking down the real Becky Sutter and sticking by his wife when she discovers information about her daughter who was kidnapped years ago.
The estranged wife of Christopher Ewing is actually Pamela Rebecca Barnes, the daughter of longtime Ewing enemy Cliff Barnes, Bobby's one-time brother-in-law. Sweet and compassionate Rebecca Sutter has been replaced with Pamela Rebecca, who is just as scheming and conniving as her father. Pregnant with Christopher's twins, Pamela is out to gain complete control of Ewing Energies and full custody of her babies. She and her father have vowed to take down the Ewing family, once and for all.
The adopted son of Bobby Ewing and his first wife, Pam. Christopher fell in love with Elena while growing up together on Southfork.

But adversity only makes Sue Ellen stronger, and she will continue to keep her family first.
The ambitious son of J.R. and Sue Ellen Ewing. The apple didn't fall too far from the tree, as John Ross is determined to strike it rich in the oil industry and prove himself capable of stepping into his father's shoes. He believes the Ewing Oil empire will be his one day, and he'll do just about anything to make that dream come true. His world came crashing down, however, when his girlfriend, Elena, discovered his plan to take Southfork from Bobby and Christopher. He has now formed Ewing Energies with his cousin and uncle. However, John Ross ultimately wants to gain total control of the company. The apple does not fall far from the tree.
Third wife of Bobby Ewing, introduced by mutual friend Sue Ellen. Ann has a quiet strength and beauty, fitting into the Ewing lineup of lovely women who know their way around a ranch. Her first marriage to transportation executive Harris Ryland continues to haunt her today.

All this familial fighting has put a strain on his relationship with brother Bobby.
Sister to Mitch Cooper and romantically linked to both JR Ewing and Cliff Barnes. She was once JR's mistress, but eventually fell in love with Cliff and they had a daughter. It was recently revealed that Christopher's wife Rebecca Sutter was in fact Afton's daughter, Pamela Rebecca Barnes.
Ann Ewing's manipulative and cunning ex-husband. Harris is a powerful Texas transportation executive whose goal in life is to ruin Ann, including anyone or anything associated with her. He's willing to use Ann's most personal secret, the disappearance of her daughter, to destroy her happiness.
A sheltered, classic beauty who has lived a life of privilege while being raised by her grandmother. A world traveler since she was a toddler, Emma was taught to be poised and perfect…as well as distrustful by her father. Now living in Dallas, she hopes to discover the truth about her childhood.
Son of "Digger" Barnes and half brother of Pamela Ewing, Cliff was always competing with J.R. for both Ewing Oil and Sue Ellen. He eventually gained control of Ewing Oil in 1991, but sold it back to Bobby and Sue Ellen in 1996. Now with the help of his daughter, Pamela Rebecca Barnes, Cliff will stop at nothing to take down the Ewing family for good.
Elena's troubled brother, who returns to Southfork to continue drilling on his father's land. "Drew" witnessed his father's death on a rig and became an angry delinquent because of it. He chose the Army over jail and has spent the last 10 years learning how to run every piece of equipment on a drilling rig. Drew wants to avenge his father's name and find his share of oil on Southfork.

Shane Rockford doesn't want to leave the farm and decides to stay. As a reward the farmhands are instructed to show him a good time. They end up in the barn sucking each other's dicks, while Rockford's lover, Josh Weston spies on them from outside. Rockford chows down on Chad Hunt's amazing 11 incher, while Daniel Sinclair gets his thick cock worked on by Brian McClaine. It's share and share alike as both Rockford and Sinclair slobber over Hunt's horsecock eventually joined by McClaine so that all three worship Hunt's monumental manhood with slathering tongues. A free-for-all suck fest ensues and finally asses are impaled as Sinclair shoves his hard cock up Rockford's tight hole and pounds him deep and hard. Sinclair pulls out and is quickly replaced by McClain, not even giving Rockford a chance to breathe before forcing his cock up inside the eager bottom. Finally Rockford sits down on Hunt's throbbing monster and gets fucked into ecstasy while sucking on Sinclair and McClaine's hard dick.

Joel Kruger remembers working on his uncle's ranch in Montana as a child. Kruger moved to Carson Valley with his parents in 1989 and took up baseball and football, slowly allowing his interest in ranch work to dwindle.
After returning from college, though, Kruger caught on helping out friends at a number of local ranches. It wasn't long before he began competing in the annual Minden Ranch Rodeo.
In a poetic twist, Kruger is now serving as president of the event which was originally intended to tie the Valley's heritage to the future of agriculture in the area.

That's Life
As a career professional, volunteer, mom, wife, and friend, I focus on the positive aspects of life, even when the road is rough getting there. Life is funny. How you treat others, how you handle situations, and how you live each day is your responsibility ... so are the outcomes.
Remembering a Great Friend, Father, and Husband
I find myself struggling sometimes with the loss of family and friends at such young ages. It hardly makes sense when there is so much more life to live, adventures to experience, and roads not traveled. I try to be optimistic, yet it is difficult, when the past three years, I have been to more funerals than birthday parties.
There are greater goods, which have resulted from these funerals, though at the time of attending, the vision or thoughts were not there. It is a coming together of people, some known, some not known, and some whom we now call our friends. Through these events, I have grown to know the impact I and others had on the lives of the friends and family passed, yet when they were living they were unspoken words...you just knew you were always there for each other.

Disbursement Policy
The Bursar's Office begins to process refunds from financial aid in excess of tuition, fees, and housing charges on a weekly basis just prior to the start of the term. For faster delivery of your refund, enroll in Direct Deposit (formerly known as eRefunds) under the Finance section of MySJSU. Information on how to sign-up is found on the Bursar's website: How to Enroll in Direct Deposit (eRefunds) [pdf]). In addition, please keep your mailing address current.
All charges owed to San José State University (i.e., tuition, fees, housing charges, book charges, short-term loans, etc.) will automatically be deducted from your financial aid disbursement.
Disbursement of financial aid
Your financial aid award is based on full-time enrollment. If you plan to be enrolled less than full-time, complete the Student Information Update form. Financial aid funds may be prorated for less than full-time enrollment. Below is the definition for both full-time and half-time enrollment. Make certain to return the Student Information Update form so your funds are not delayed and can be disbursed to you in a timely manner. Each financial aid type has different disbursement requirements.
Full-time enrollment
- 12 units for an undergraduate, postbaccalaureate or credential program.
- 8 units for a graduate degree - 200 level or department approved coursework.
Half-time enrollment
- 6 units for an undergraduate, postbaccalaureate or credential program.
- 4 units for a graduate degree - 200 level or department approved coursework.
Dropping units after disbursement of aid
You may be required to repay a portion or all of your financial aid if you drop units or are not at the minimum unit level of financial aid eligibility. Federal and state regulations do not permit students to receive aid which exceeds their financial aid eligibility. The repayment amount will be determined after the add/drop period has ended. Students are required to repay aid for which they are determined to be ineligible.
- If you received aid as a full-time student and then drop units, you will most likely be required to repay a portion of the funds.

After three days with the best Magic players in the world competing for the World Championship titles in New York City, two European national teams made their way to the top of the competition, winning the chance to put their name and country in the Magic history.
On this side of the Team Finals: Nico Bohny and Manuel Bucher, both from Switzerland, faced Thomas Preyer and Stefan Stradner from Austria. The Swiss players are not new to the stage, having both Grand Prix Top 8 finishes, and Thomas Preyer was the finalist of Pro Tour–London some years ago, so this match could never be easy for any of the players involved.
The Swiss players won the coin flip and they chose to play first. However the Austrian team played the first spells, but not before than complaining about how long it took to the Swiss players to decide what to do on the first turn, as they had a tight schedule and every second was important. They played Elvish Handservant and Wanderer's Twig, hoping for some changeling action from the other side of the table. During the next two turns there was no interaction between the different players' cards, as the Swiss team played Fertile Ground, Stonybrook Angler, Streambed Aquitects, and Lys Alana Huntmaster, while on the other side of the table a second Elvish Handservant and a Mudbutton Torchrunner were the only cards played, leaving some blue mana open.
An Ajani Goldmane ran into a Broken Ambitions,and it was time to attack with Stonybrook Angler, as Streambed Aquitects could cover his back. Showing no fear of the double Elvish Handservant, the Swiss black-green deck played not one but two changelings that turn, Skeletal Changeling and Ghostly Changeling, giving two free +1/+1 counters to the "little" Elves and receiving two free Elves tokens in return. The Austrians followed up with Hornet Harasser.
If the first turns didn't have much action, this was about to change, as the Swiss declared their intention to move into the attack step, but a Pestermite came into their way to tap the scary Ghostly Changeling, as having Merfolk status allows him to get Islandwalk with the help of his best friend Streambed Aquitects. However, Stonybrook Angler untapped it, Streambed Aquitects gave him evasion, and the only reason why the changeling didn't pump up further was because there was a Mulldrifter ready to join the Swiss squad. To finish the turn they played a Judge of Currents. Deciding to work on their defensive against the Swiss team, the Austrian team played a second Mudbutton Torchrunner and Silvergill Douser. A main-phase Eyeblight's Ending tried to put an end on the Silvergill Douser's life, but Whirlpool Whelm saved the creature. A second Judge of Currents came into play and, keeping an offensive strategy, the Swiss team attacked with Ghostly Changeling, adding again islandwalk to the creature, dealing 5 damage, while getting 2 life this time.
At this point at the other table of the Team Finals stage, the other Swiss team won its game, and it was possible to see that the Austrian players at this table realized that even a win would cost them some money in order to play a final game for the title, as the four players would need to rebook their flight.
As the owner of the Ghostly Changeling was tapped out, it seemed to be a good chance to kill it with Lash Out, which was followed by the THIRD Mudbutton Torchrunner, Leaf Gilder, and the return of Silvergill Douser. Surprising their opponents, the Swiss player played Lammastide Weave, targeting the black-red opponent and naming Shriekmaw, but missing and taking away a Mountain from the top of his opponent's library. Veteran of the Depths joined the Merfolk on the table and, not wanting to miss an attack, Judge of Currents got Islandwalk and swung with Mulldrifter, leaving the Austrian team with 14 life points. On the Austrian side of the table Amoeboid Changeling came to fight the Islandwalk enabler and Boggart Loggers got extra value, as the Amoeboid Changeling can transform any creature into a Treefolk, allowing the Loggers to kill it. At the end of the turn, for the second time in the Finals, the Swiss team played Lammastide Weave naming Shriekmaw, but once again the cantrip spell just took away a land from the top of the opposing library.
Two Judge of Currents can be scary, but there was one piece missing in the puzzle and the Swiss players like to complete what they start, so when they played a Silvergill Adept on the next turn, they revealed Summon the School.
As they were taking some time considering their options, the Austrians said, "You know we have to catch our flight, please play faster."
Their opponents played Weed Strangle on the Silvergill Douser, and while their life was already much higher than the starting life, they won the clash, getting 1 extra life point. Veteran of the Depths got islandwalk and dealt 4 damage, and after playing Jagged-Scar Archers, the Swiss players ended their turn. For the first time the Austrians put a creature in the Red Zone, dealing 2 damage with their Boggart Loggers but, thanks to some life gain, only putting the Swiss players at 38 life.
When the players from Switzerland were untapping their lands, the table judge noticed that the four players missed the 5 damage from Fodder Launch, as they were too focused on the creatures to notice the life change. With the life totals corrected, Ponder left two known cards on the top of the library and a second Silvergill Adept allowed the Swiss player to draw Merrow Reejerey and play it in the same turn. The Austrians conceded after drawing another card, as they were too low on life points to fight the full Swiss Merfolk army. The other Austrian team joined their teammates and in the true spirit of sportsmanship they shook their opponents' hands.
We have a new Magic World National Team Champion. Congratulations Team Switzerland!

Handlebar / Stem setup?
Just wondering what everyone is running... Flat bar or Riser? Negative degree stem? A buddy said I would be more comfortable with a negative rise stem and a Falt bar. I thought this was all personal preference. This is my first 29er, on my 26", I ran 90mm stem with a riser bar.Read More »

I have a suggestion for them, and that is to hire Americans within the United States who speak English well, give them a job at decent wages and at decent hours, and that will in turn give them more bang for their buck and help our economy get back to where it should be. I also have a suggestion for The Star's readers. If you should get these types of telephone calls, say hello, give the other end three seconds to respond, and if they don't, hang up the telephone.

First off, our best advice would be to only bring what you really need - however you arrive, you'll inevitably have to carry your stuff a fair distance to where you camp. And as part of our Love The Farm, Leave No Trace campaign we'd definitely encourage you to only bring things which you can take home - and that includes your tent. In fact, we'd be very grateful if you could leave as little behind as possible, please. Thanks.
What to bring
And if you forget to bring any essential kit, don't worry, there are several camping accessory stalls that sell everything from tents to sleeping bags, blankets to batteries, plastic undersheets to torches.

You will not be granted the certification until you pass all required exams, complete the training, and submit the documentation showing that you completed the training. This is shown on the OE site:
the above link shows as "Self Study Course Rs 23146" , so if we purchase this then is it equivalent to have training?Nope. Self study courses do not count, in the link below, OE states it specifically:

No, it's all about making money... self study courses are more cheaper than the class trainings (with instructor), which are more expensive. So, money makes the difference. That's it...

As a teenager she relocated to Taiwan with her family, and also studied in Singapore for a few years. She started her career in the entertainment industry when she was only 15, by winning the MTV Asia VJ Search in Taipei, and since then she has been hosting TV shows, modeling, acting, designing, and even writing.
Even with her hectic schedule, she still managed to find the time to focus on her studies, and graduated from King's College, London, UK, walking away with a degree in Psychology and Law. During the time she was studying, she also managed to put her studies to work, and was a legal representative and interpreter for the British Immigration & Home Office, also participating in various cross country debates and seminars for her Psychology degree. Amazingly, even after all that studying, she wanted more! She proceeded to further her studies in psychology, focusing on psychosis research,the impact of anti-psychotic medicines, and schizophrenia. After that, she took up fashion designing. And got her degree too. What a geek! ;)
Since her arrival in Malaysia 2 years ago, she has graced the runway, her face is seen regularly on the covers of magazines, she emcees various events and functions, and participates in charity events whenever she is able to. She was first featured in FHM Malaysia's September 2008 issue, then Men's Health November 2008, and since then, Nu You Magazine, Newtide, NewMan, Shape, CLIVE, Female...etc. Now she's seen regularly on TV as well, starting with her first SK-II TVC, then NTV7's hit sitcom "Mr Siao's Mandarin Class", and soon she'll be hitting the big screens too. She was also recently nominated for her performance in the TV Commercial for Luk Fook Jewelery as "Most Popular TVC Actress".
Elvanna recently relocated to Seoul, South Korea. She is currently working on her first Korean feature film "Mr.K (미스터K)", a spy action flick with a star-studded cast including Daniel Henney, Seol Kyeong-gu and Moon So-ri.
Elvanna's ultimate passion has always been acting, so I'm sure we will definitely be seeing a lot more of her!
Let's wish her all the best in everything and that it will only get better and better!

The best laptops for college students: Learning digitally has never been easier December 19, 2013 at 12:30 pm
College life has changed dramatically in the last decade. Many classes are being offered online, academic research has moved to the digital arena, and now many assignments are turned in through e-mail attachments. Modern college students are increasingly reliant on computers, and that means a laptop is most certainly in your future. So, how do you decide which one to buy?
Mobile warriors: The best laptops for business October 2, 2013 at 12:20 pm
Slow hard drive, terrible screen, bottom-end chip? Call it a "business" laptop! It's true that low-end laptops will run Office when other functions, are out of the question, that doesn't mean the experience of using these computers is good. We've put together a guide to some of the best laptops for business currently on the market that should help you pick the right system and avoid sorting endless mounds of crap.
Shopping for PCs is a wretched, broken experience – and budget ultrabooks haven't helped August 27, 2013 at 9:30 am
When Intel unveiled its ultrabook concept, the company positioned the new systems as best-in-class platforms that would compete against the MacBook Air. In some ways, that strategy has worked — laptops have gotten markedly thinner and a higher percentage of total systems are using low-voltage processors to boost battery life. But the hoped-for simplification of the PC buying experience? It's only gotten worse. In this the ultrabook program has been a failure and the process of buying a PC has not been improved or even simplified.
The widening gyre: PC sales fall for a record-breaking fifth quarter July 11, 2013 at 6:10 am
The PC market has officially entered the worst downturn in its history with sales falling for the fifth straight quarter. The culprit? Tablets — which are devouring the market out from under the PC OEMs.
The new Razer Blade is more MacBook Pro than gaming laptop July 8, 2013 at 9:44 am
The new Razer Blade purports to be a razor-thin gaming laptop, widely drawing comparisons to Apple's current MacBook Pro design. Those comparisons are spot on, and aside from the black-and-green aesthetic and a few key feature differences, this lead us to ask: Which laptop is the way to go?
Understanding Windows 8′s lackluster launch and Microsoft's cryptic sales figures January 21, 2013 at 2:42 pm
Here's an interesting question: How many computers are actually running Windows 8 or Windows RT? You see, beyond Microsoft's inner circle in Redmond, no one knows.
Forget price cuts — higher prices, better quality are the PC industry's last chance January 16, 2013 at 9:41 am
There's been a lot of talk regarding the declining PC market, but price cuts simply aren't the answer to the problem. If netbooks are any indication, slashing prices now — as opposed to improving product quality — will only destroy the market more quickly.
Intel at CES: Haswell, Bay Trail Android tablets, and mandatory touchscreen ultrabooks January 8, 2013 at 8:38 am
At CES 2013 in Las Vegas, Intel has taken the wraps off its plans for smartphones, tablets, and ultrabooks for the upcoming year. As you can probably imagine, most of these plans revolve around the fourth-generation Haswell architecture, but Intel is also showing off some exciting developments in the realm of smartphone/tablet SoCs (Medfield/Bay Trail), and a beautiful new ultrabook reference design.
Ultrabook sales forecasts plummet, short-sighted analysts call for price cuts October 2, 2012 at 2:23 pm
IHS has slashed its ultrabook forecasts and declared that the segment needs a price cut. We'd argue that's actually the last thing that needs to happen.
Does the consumer hard drive have a future? October 1, 2012 at 8:11 am
Like it or not, there just doesn't seem to be a ton of advancement happening on the consumer hard drive front. What does this mean for consumers, PC builders, and "power users"?

Okay, so these guys aren't exactly old, but they have to be at least 22 by the start of the 2011-12 season to be included. In most cases these players have proven themselves in the AHL and are due for a serious look at some NHL ice time. There are some hidden gems in this list and in some cases all these defencemen need is a break. Most of them are stuck in organizations with a lot of blue line depth. Because of their age, there is more pressure for the organization to play them sooner rather than later and that's good if you need to shore up your blue line next year in a keeper league. These are good defensive prospects that are very close.
Jonathan Blum, Nashville, Turns 23 on Jan. 30th, 2012 - Unlike many on this list, Blum is going to get his chance to play next season. Last season he scored 34 points in 54 AHL games and played in 23 NHL games. When Nashville let Cody Franson go, it was to open a spot for Blum who they feel can play in their top six. Blum could put up as many as 35 points next season and should be a 50-point defenceman at some point.
Marc-Andre Gragnani, Buffalo, Turns 25 on March 11th, 2012 - The recently signed Gragnani is in an interesting position. The Sabres have signed eight defensemen and although Gragnani signed a two-way deal, he must play at least 58 NHL games for the Sabres or he'll become a Group six (unrestricted) free agent. Group six free agency occurs when skaters have reached age 25, have 3 accrued years of professional experience, and whose contracts have expired, but have played less than 80 NHL games. So if the Sabres don't play him in 58 games they'll lose him for nothing. Gragnani won the Eddie Shore Award as the AHL's best defenceman and he led the Sabres in playoff scoring with seven points in seven games. Expect him to get top-six even strength ice time and play on the second power play. He should score 30 points and like Blum is capable of scoring 50 points later in his career.
Brendan Smith, Detroit, Turns 23 on Feb. 8th, 2012 - After a successful run with the WCHA (NCAA) Wisconsin Badgers, Smith turned pro last season. He scored 12 goals and 32 points in 63 AHL games for Grand Rapids. Smith would likely see a lot of NHL ice time on any other team. Unfortunately for him, he's playing in Detroit so he won't play much unless there are a lot of injuries at the back end. Smith is a future star and he'll likely get his chance in 2012-13. If you have room on your farm team, grab him.
Jakub Kindl, Detroit, Turns 25 on Feb. 10th, 2012 - While he doesn't have the same upside as Gragnani, Kindl will also be a Group six free agent unless he plays 29 games for Detroit. Whether he does or not, Detroit has to make a decision on him soon. He played 48 games for the Red Wings last season so he might get a shot at a full season in 2011-2012. Don't expect big numbers from him this season, but he should be capable of putting up 30-35 points eventually. He's a good defenseman to have in deep keeper leagues because he can score and he'll likely put up some decent numbers in 2012-13.
Maxim Goncharov, Phoenix, Turned 22 on June 15th, 2011 - Goncharov had a hard time adjusting to North American hockey after playing four years in Russia. He managed only six goals and 15 points in 61 AHL games last season. Unlike other prospects, Phoenix has some room on defence for Goncharov to move up but he needs another year in the AHL to get his game in order. Ed Jovanovski signed with Florida, Adrian Aucoin is 38 and Rostislav Klesa is a certified band-aid boy, so in two seasons expect Goncharov to get some decent power play time. At 6'4, 215 pounds, Goncharov can blast it from the point and has a decent offensive game. His upside is 50 points.
Matt Taormina, New Jersey, Turns 25 on Oct. 20th, 2011 - Be wary of Taormina because he's only 5'10, 185 pounds and tore ankle ligaments after 17 NHL games last season. Despite the band-aid boy potential, Taormina has progressed nicely and is a proven AHL scorer. In 2009-10 he scored 50 points in 75 games for Lowell and has little to prove in the minors. With Andy Greene, Henrik Tallinder, Mark Fayne, Anton Volchenkov and Bryce Salvador on New Jersey's blue line, there is a dire need for an offensive defenceman on the Devils. The problem with Taormina is that he's not great without the puck so his even strength ice time will be somewhat limited. Expect him to get lots of power play time and along with it a decent chance at 30 points if he doesn't get hurt again. He has an upside of 40 points if he can stay healthy.
Dark Horse
Erik Gustafsson, Philadelphia, Turns 23 on Dec. 15th, 2011 - Because he's only 5'10, 185, Gustafsson will take a little longer than most to develop, however, he's already put up a 50 point season in the AHL and made the AHL's All-Rookie Team. Like many Swedish hockey players, Gustafsson has a lot of composure and rarely panics with the puck. He's not flashy but can play in all situations. Like most on this list he's stuck on a team with a lot of defensive depth, but like compatriot Tobias Enstrom he should be capable of putting up NHL points despite his size. He'll likely see some playing time in Philadelphia this season but won't produce decent (35+) points until 2012-13.

Outlining available options, a Governor's Energy Office representative with the Low-Income Weatherization Program community will visit the Ouray Community Center, 320 6th Ave., on Monday, Aug. 22, for a 12-1 p.m. weatherization presentation (during the senior lunch), followed by a question-and-answer session, 1-3 p.m.
For those unable to attend, or for help in applying, SMPA members can call 970/249-4774 in Montrose, Ouray, San Miguel and Hinsdale Counties.
Residents who automatically qualify for weatherization include those receiving financial assistance from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Aid to Needy and Disabled, Old Age Pension, Supplemental Security Income, and Low Income Energy Assistance Program; eligibility can also be determined by household incomes.
The weatherization process, which helps to reduce energy use, while improving comfort year-round, often includes basic energy efficiency measures such as weather-stripping and caulking exterior doors and windows. The goal is to protect homes and their interiors from the outside elements, particularly, heat, cold, precipitation, and wind.
"While SMPA may not be able to provide direct financial assistance with this program, we want to make sure our members have access to any available funds that are out there. We encourage any of our members who are eligible for the weatherization program to take advantage of it," said SMPA General Manager, Kevin Ritter. "Any assistance a member gets will help them have a more comfortable home and more affordable energy bills."
San Miguel Power Association, Inc. is a member-owned, locally controlled rural electric cooperative with offices in Nucla and Ridgway.
